The 48 metre band did not open here at all for short and short medium skip, apart from briefly when I logged Quadzilla. Coast FM on 6205 was in and out of the noise all day. It peaked just after I logged Quadzilla at 45544 and then disappeared completely a few seconds after. The 76 metre band stayed open to allow Underground to broadcast a show with some nice music. Laser on 5835 and Focus on 5805 were also noted around 1900 UTC but neither were strong enough to listen to at this QTH. They disappeared also just after I lost the other two stations.
